Ensure that the power supply is disconnected from the board before inserting or removing a Mercury mod-
ule, connecting interfaces, or connecting jumpers.
Touching the capacitors of the DC-DC converters can lead to voltage peaks and permanent damage; over-
voltage on power or signal lines can also cause permanent damage to the board and to the equipped
module.
Warning!
It is possible to mount some Mercury modules the wrong way round on the ST1 base board
- always check that the mounting holes on the base board are aligned with the mounting holes of the
module.
Every Mercury module has a 1 mm copper square module marker, which has its counter part on the
base board. If these module markers are aligned, proper orientation is granted. The copper square can
be found in a corner of the module, on top as well as on the bottom side.
The base board and module may be damaged if the module is mounted the wrong way round and
powered up.
Warning!
Certain older revisions of the Mercury KX1 FPGA module cannot be used in combination with
base boards (with three module connectors), due to a mechanical collision caused by large capacitors
on the bottom side of the module.
Always check that the mounting holes on the base board are aligned with the mounting holes of the
ST1 base board. If the module cannot be mounted correctly due to the mechanical collision,
please contact Enclustra support.
1.1.6
Electrostatic Discharge
Electronic boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please ensure that the product is handled
with care and only in an ESD-protected environment.
1.1.7
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The ST1 base board is a Class A product (as defined in IEC 61000-3-2 standard) and is not in-
tended for use in domestic environments. The product may cause electromagnetic interference, for which
appropriate measures must be taken.
